It's time to hit the high seas and hold an ill-fated casino night, here on Morgendorks! This week: "Just Add Water." When Ms. Li demands everybody attend the school's newest fundraising activity—a casino night aboard a luxury liner—it gives the entire Morgendorffer clan a brand spanking new setting for their litany of regular issues. But what's that on the horizon? AVAST! THE TRASH BARGE APPROACHETH.
Speaking of trash barges, we're going to dive into the absolutely insane and wonderful story of the Mobro 4000, a barge that just wanted a home for itself and its 3,100 tons of Long Island garbage—and went more than 6,000 miles in search of it, becoming the most-watched pile of garbage in human history. Yeah, it's wild.
Stay safe out there!
